Adoption is lot like a race- specifically hurdles. I remember when I used to run Track in high school. I didn't run the hurdles but always found them fascinating. Run for a couple of strides, prepare to jump, jump over the hurdle, and then do it again and again...
That is what we are going through now. Two weeks ago we came across our first major obstacle. A hurdle that seemed so tall. One that could take us out of the race. A hurdle that could end this adoption. For two weeks we were preparing to jump over it, not knowing if we would make it over or crash and burn.
Well we are over that hurdle. Birthmom is safely out of hiding and is handling the situation with courage and strength. We are overjoyed that she is safe. We know she is getting feed, she has a place to sleep, and that she is safe. Praise God.
Our agency did have a chance to finally talk with her on Thursday, specifically asking if she wants to continue with the adoption plan. And she said YES!! We are Jumping for Joy!!
So now we have jumped over the hurdle successfully and are taking some strides. There are many more hurdles in front of us. But for right now we are resting in the stride. We are preparing to move forward and we are anticipating more hurdles to come. I am just hoping this is the 100 meter hurdle race and not the 200 meters. HAHA.
Please continue to keep us, the birthmom, and the twins in your prayers. We have reached 28 weeks gestation. Praying the twins make it to full term of 37 weeks :)
